This Week In RuneScape: War's Reckoning

This Week In RuneScape: War's Reckoning

It’s time to become a Slayer superstar as War himself invites you to complete tasks for bonus XP! But hey, maybe you’re a lover not a fighter, in which case you might want to hear about the latest Valentine’s-themed Treasure Hunter. You know what they say: all’s fair...

Event: War's Reckoning
Prepare for battle and experience Safe Deaths!

A creeping horror is about to emerge in Senntisten, and you’ll need 95, 105 and 115 Slayer to take on whatever abominations crawl out on February 28th.

Not quite there yet? Don’t worry, because War himself is offering a boost bonanza - just visit him at War's Retreat to reap the benefits. A few reasons to get involved:

  • Safe Deaths! A juicy upgrade on the Free Death bonus which allows you to respawn with items intact, instead of having to reclaim them! Please note this is not available for Hardcore Ironmen or F2P.
  • Double Slayer and Reaper points.
  • Reduced Marks of War cooldown and Invention drain rate (-50%).
  • Increased luck on the Rare Drop Table.
  • +50% Slayer XP from tasks (not applicable when Double XP is active – also not available for Ironmen or Hardcore Ironmen).
  • Elder Overload Golems at War’s Retreat (not available for Ironmen, Hardcore Ironmen or F2P).

Gifts From The Heart
Feel the love with Treasure Hunter!

Valentine's Day approaches, and Treasure Hunter has some truly swoon-worthy prizes up for grabs!

You’ll have a chance to swipe the Sceptre of Enchantment, last seen in our 2016 promotion, but now as a tradeable item (though please note that it becomes untradeable on use). You can also find the Oil of Enchantment, a tradeable charge for the Sceptre. The Sceptre's Valentine's Slam bonus grants a 4% XP boost and the Bonfire HP Boost for 24 hours, plus a 2% XP Boost and two hours of the Bonfire HP Boost for those around you – sharing is caring, folks!

You might also pick up the Coin of Enchantment, which works in the same way as the Sceptre but gives a 2% XP buff for you, and a 1% buff for everyone around you - not including any Bonfire boosts. It also stacks with the Sceptre buff, so you can have both running at the same time!

Every prize also awards ‘Heartments’, loved-up Oddments which can be used to buy all sorts of delightful rewards – including past Valentine's Day cosmetics.

Here’s what else is up for grabs:

    • Prismatic Star & Lamp (Consumable rewards, identical to those in the H'oddments Store)
    • Masquerade Outfit
    • Masquerade Mask
    • Heart Balloon
    • Bunch of Flowers
    • Hater's Medallion
    • Lover's Medallion
    • Crown of the Fallen
    • Goblin Butler pet
    • Devotion Sprite pet
    • Loved-up Lootbeam
    • Scrumptious Title
    • Forlorn Title
    • Masquerade Dance
    • Efficiency Emote
    • No More! Emote
    • Down to Earth Emote
    • Loved Up Emote

The Valentine’s Treasure Hunter runs from February 10th to February 14th. Heartments must be used by February 21st.

 
Double XP: LIVE Coming Soon!
Mark your calendars!

Double XP LIVE returns on February 18th!

This is another great opportunity to get ready for the new Slayer challenge arriving at the end of the month – or just work on your favourite skills and prepare for spring!

You can spend your 48 hours of Double XP time across all 28 skills, and pause the buff whenever you need to take a break.

Double XP LIVE starts at 12:00 Game Time on Friday, February 18th and runs until 12:00 Game Time on Monday, February 28th.
